It took us a while to help clean everything. But we eventually got it done. Griffin's family were a little ways ahead of us as we walked behind them.

"Griffin! Sydney!" We turned around to see Colby jogging towards us. Elton was behind him, trying to catch up.

"So, we still hanging out tomorrow?" Colby asked, hope on his face. "Yeah, I think it'll be fun." I tell him as Griffin agreed.

"Okay, cool. Is it okay if I have your number? So I can text you tomorrow." He kept stumbling on his words and scratching his neck.

I smile as I grab my phone. I hand it to him so he could put his number on it. A little smile formed on his face, so he grabbed my phone.

He quickly typed his number, texted himself, and then gave me my phone back. "You two almost ready?" Dan asked as we nodded.

"See you guys tomorrow." Us four made our separate ways. Grant, Griffin, and I squished our way in the back.

"So, I saw you got the guys phone number." Grant teased. "You gonna show him your titties?" Griffin teasingly asked.

"Griffin Thomas Marshall!" His parents yelled in unison. I couldn't help but laugh. We all ride back to the hotel, it being super late.

We make our separate ways to our rooms and start to change. "You know, today was actually pretty fun." I tell Griffin.

I lay on my bed as he takes his shirt off. "Yeah, I agree. Elton is pretty cool." He plopped into his bed.

We talked for a while, but ended up falling asleep from being exhausted. I actually slept pretty good that night.

We slept in for a little bit. It felt good we had a free day today, but I honestly don't wanna leave. I never get vacations like these.

I quickly take a shower, and get dressed. I put on jeans and a thrasher t-shirt. I straighten my hair as I text Colby to tell him we were up.

"You excited to see your boy toy today?" Griffin asked when I walked out of the bathroom. "He's not my boy toy!" I tell Griffin.

"That's not what the eye sex said." He joked as he played on his PlayStation. He somehow snuck it on the plane and brought it.

I took a pillow and threw it at his face. "Shut up." I tell him as he laughed. "Are you not gonna get dressed?" I ask looking at him.

He had basketball shorts on with a black and white striped t-shirt. "Bitch I've been dressed up all week. I need one day to look like a bum." He told me.

My phone buzzed signaling a text message. I looked to see it was from Colby. "Colby just texted, they're on their way." I tell Griffin.

He sighed as he saved his game and turned it off. He put his Nikes on as there was a knock on the door. I opened the door, revealing the boys face.

Colby was wearing a black Lil' Peep sweatshirt and black skinny jeans with holes in the knees.

Elton was wearing a tank top with the words 'send it' on it and basketball shorts. He had a backpack on which kinda confused me.

"You all ready?" Colby asked, making me turn to Griffin. He walked over to us with a smile on his face.

"Let's roll." We all walked towards the elevator. "So, where are we going?" I ask as we walk inside it.

"We found an amusement park in town that we think will be fun." Elton told us. Griffin and I high-fived each other as the elevator stoped.

We took an Uber to get there, and it wasn't that far. We paid for our tickets and walked inside. It looked like a little kid park but it didn't stop us.

"Who's trying to do the drop tower with me?" Griffin asked to no one in particular. "I don't know brother." Colby grimaced while looking up at it.

"Don't be a pussy bro. Go do it." Elton told him. "Why don't you do it?" Colby questioned him.

"I just had a burrito half an hour ago." I couldn't help but laugh. "Whatever, I'll go with you." Griffin smiled as they started walking towards the tower.

"I'll see you later Uncle Elton!" Colby waved as he walked away with my best friend. I looked up at Elton confused.

He then looked down to see me staring. "Why did he call you 'Uncle' Elton?" I asked as we started to walk closer to the tower.

We sat down on a bench so we could talk. "It's something our group of friends call me. I don't really remember how it started." He told me.

I nodded my head, not really knowing what to say. "Don't tell him I told you this, but he's really into you." I looked over at Elton.

"Yeah, he wouldn't shut up when you gave him your number." I couldn't help but blush. "I really had no idea." I tell him honestly.

"Well duh. Guys don't admit to that stuff." Elton straight up told me. "Guys don't admit to anything." I tell him as he shook his head.

"That's a damn lie." Elton said making my jaw drop. "They don't admit to being wrong!" I point out to him.

"Yeah, whatever." He jokingly rolled his eyes. "So, if we're all gonna be friends, does that mean I have to call you Uncle Elton?" I smirk at him.

He leaned back, slinging his arm around the back of the bench. Not in a romantic way, but in a friendly way.

"Only if you want to." He shrugged. I looked over and they were closer to it. They were both laughing at something they said.

"Colby mentioned you had a fourteen year old sister, what's that like?" He asked keeping the
conversation.

"Annoying. She likes to steal my clothes but other than that, I love her." I tell him honestly.

"Your parents must love having a younger one in the house." Elton said while looking around. I shake my head while looking down.

It's not like he knew, I haven't even told Colby. "It's just my mom. My dad left a right after my sister was born." He then looked at me, sorrow on his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." He apologized. I shake my head towards him. "Don't worry, it doesn't bother me anymore." I shrug.

Griffin and I make jokes about it all time, so it really doesn't bother me. Plus I don't want people feeling bad for me.

I looked up to see the boys coming down on the tower, both trying to scream.

It's crazy how we just met them, and we're all hanging out like we were best friends.

I wouldn't change anything about it though.
